Biography

I grew up in St.
John's Newfoundland on "The Rock" and moved to Waterloo at
the age of 12 but I will always have a love for the East Coast. My high school
was down the road from Laurier and I had known that I wanted to study business quite
early on in my high school years. With Laurier having a strong
reputation for its business program and having spent time on campus that showed
me how genuinely happy the students were, made my decision to go to
Laurier an easy one.

I can honestly say
that I loved studying business and the four years at Laurier revealed my
passion for Marketing, Social Media and Brand Management. I feel very fortunate
to say that I truly enjoy my job as an International Recruiter and that I use
the skills I learnt in the business school almost every day.

A few ways I
contribute to the International Recruitment and Admission department
are through building a social media strategy, conveying Laurier's
value proposition though presentations to stakeholders and fielding inquiries
from international prospective students from around the globe. Some of my
projects I'm most proud of are The My Laurier Diaries video
series, running campus wide open houses and my contributions to
Laurier's marketing materials.

Outside the office I
spend my time doing anything and everything creative including interior design,
graphic design, photography, fashion design (I'm very much a DIY junkie). Most
of the time you can find me at a café uptown waterloo, working on my new
venture project or treasure hunting at my favorite vintage stores uptown. My
other obsession is travelling, with the goal to better understand other
cultures and how happiness is defined around the world.
